Description

Edible pumpkin, canning variety with firm yellow flesh, pleasant taste, can be stored for a long time The pumpkin is an annual, water- and nutrient-hungry crop. It loves warmth, has strong vines and can reach a considerable size. The pumpkin fruit is an armored berry that differs in shape, color and size depending on the variety. Accordingly, a distinction is made between edible, food and ornamental pumpkins. Female and male flowers form on the same plant. Male flowers grow on long stems, female flowers can be recognized by a thick, round ovary at the base of the flower.

Non hybrid

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

Bushy growing pumpkins require an area of approx. 1 m², climbing pumpkins approx. 3 m². We recommend pre-growing seedlings. An even supply of water and nutrients is important for healthy growth and abundant fruiting. In the event of drought or a lack of fertilization, the small pumpkins will partially die. At temperatures below 5°C, you should cover the entire plant with fleece. The fleece should be removed as soon as flowers form. Place a small wooden board, a flat stone or straw under the fruit to prevent the fruit from rotting on wet soil. You can harvest as soon as the pumpkin sounds hollow when you "tap" it. To harvest, cut the pumpkin at the stem, but leave part of the stem attached to the fruit. Otherwise the pumpkins will rot quickly and cannot be stored for as long.
